Pedigree Query

Are Mt.Livermore `s Progeny good temperamental and Conformation ? Specially,his Sons Housebuster and Orientat?

I haven't seen Housebuster in person, but I have a daughter of his that is very good conformationally. Orientate is a fine-looking horse, but I haven't looked at my notes of any details. I remember him being very nice.

We moved ours (Mountainsofthemoon) along because he was going nowhere and not getting there very fast...

I know Equality has a GREAT temperment.. He is by Mt. Livermore out of a Gone West mare...
He is a sweetie!

I seem to remember hearing that Housebuster was even-tempered, but can't recall the source.

I did work with a son of his that was a total punk, but maybe that came from his mom's side! He was very well-conformed, though - sold for $175k as a yearling.

I am co-owner of Pride of New York (Mt Livermore--Peruvian Pride, by Baldski), a beginning sire in Ontario, Canada. Pride won his only two races in New York but was injured and retired to stud. He is a very well conformed, powerful, and correct horse, with an even (if studdish) temperament. His height (over 16 hands) may distinguish him from some of the better known sons of Mt Livermore, who are listed at 15.3 hands. He also appears to be more robust. His dam, Peruvian Pride, is a daughter of La Chaposa, sister to Chaposa Springs, half-sister to You and I, and dam of three stakewinners. There is a picture of him at my website, webracingstable.com.

As A Fleets Dancer, a truly magnificent specimen with a fiery temperament, stands in the stall immediately adjacent to Pride's, I can make comparisons. Both are about the same height, appear to be equally correct and well muscled. Having just turned four, Pride looks as though he will be fully comparable physically to the older A Fleets Dancer as he continues to fill out.

Would that breeding successfully were as simple as the appearance of the horses!

I've heard from several people that the Mt. Livermores make excellent sporthorses. Not much use in your decision about breeding for racing, but it speaks highly of the resulting conformation.

Welcome to the forum, Don. And thanks for letting us know about your stallions.
